Video Editor

Part-Time Video Editor

LifeMarks Media LLC | Remote | Philippines

About the Role

LifeMarks Media is looking for a creative, detail-oriented video editor to help bring our photo and video projects to life through engaging short form content.

This isn't just a job where you're trimming clips and adding music. I'm looking for someone who understands visual storytelling, has a good sense of timing, and knows how to turn raw footage into content that makes people stop scrolling.

Our work spans corporate events, weddings, business branding, commercial projects, and documentary storytelling. A big part of this role will be creating short-form Reels that showcase our finished work while incorporating behind the scenes footage to give viewers a look at the creative process.

I'm looking for someone who can learn and reflect my editing style while also bringing creative ideas to the table.

What you'll be responsible for:

-Editing short form Instagram Reels, TikToks, and other social media content.

-Combining finished project footage with behind the scenes clips to tell a compelling story.

-Creating attention grabbing captions using a variety of fonts, text treatments, animations, and transitions.

-Incorporating music, pacing, and visual effects that complement the footage.

-Creating engaging hooks within the first 1-3 seconds to capture attention.

-Selecting the strongest shots and knowing what to leave out.

-Maintaining consistent visual quality, color, pacing, and branding across all edits.

-Organizing project files and maintaining a clean, reliable workflow.

-Taking feedback and making revisions without needing extensive direction every time.

What success looks like:

A successful editor for LifeMarks Media will:

1. Understand the style
Develop a strong understanding of my editing preferences, creative direction, and visual identity. Over time, I should be able to trust that your edits will reflect the LifeMarks Media brand without having to explain every creative decision.

2. Tell a story
Understand that even a 30 second reel should have a beginning, middle, and end. The goal isn't simply to show pretty footage. It's to make people feel something, become interested in the work, and want to see more.

3. Have a creative eye
Know how to combine cinematic footage, BTS moments, creative transitions, animated text, sound design, and music in a way that feels intentional rather than overdone.

4. Create content that gets attention
Understand short form content and what makes someone stop scrolling. Strong opening shots, interesting captions, engaging pacing, and thoughtful editing choices are essential.

5. Work independently
Be comfortable receiving footage and a general creative direction, then taking ownership of the edit. I want someone who can make good decisions, solve problems, and occasionally surprise me with creative ideas.

6. Save me time
This is one of the most important parts of the position. I want to spend more time filming, building relationships, and growing the business rather than sitting behind a computer editing every piece of content.

7. Be consistent and reliable
Meet deadlines, communicate clearly, stay organized, and deliver consistent quality. I need someone I can build a working relationship with and trust with ongoing projects.

Skills & Experience:

-Experience editing short form social media content.

-Strong understanding of Instagram reels and TikTok formats.

-Proficiency in Final Cut Pro or comparable editing software.

-Experience with animated captions, typography, motion graphics, and transitions.

-Good understanding of music selection, sound design, and pacing.

-Strong attention to detail and an understanding of cinematic visual storytelling.

-Ability to communicate in English and follow creative direction.

-Reliable internet connection and ability to work independently.

What I'm Looking For

I'm not necessarily looking for the person with the most impressive resume. I'm looking for someone with a good creative eye, a willingness to learn, and pride in the work they deliver.

I want this to become a long term working relationship where you become familiar with my style, understand the brand, and gradually take more ownership of the editing process.
